Etymology

The word 'angry' is derived from the Old Norse word 'angr,' meaning grief or sorrow. Its use in English dates back to the late 14th century and has evolved to primarily describe a strong emotional response to perceived wrongs or injustices. The comparative form 'angrier' likely became established as English speakers sought to express varying degrees of this intense emotion. Over time, the concept of anger has been reflected in literature, psychology, and everyday language, emphasizing its significance in human behavior. The transformation from 'angry' to 'angrier' illustrates the linguistic tendency in English to modify adjectives to convey different intensities, enhancing the expressive capability of the language.
